Can Enterprise Console manage non domain computers?

LY
Recently I installed Enterprise Console 4.0 in the server. Besides computers in the domain, there are also some computers in the network but are not in the domain. Can Enterprise Console manage these non domain computers? I can find these computers by using "find by IP address" option. But when I tried to "protect" them, it asks for user name and password. I put in local admin user name and password of the computer but it shows errors. Can someone help on this? Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't work like this - you have to specify domain accounts as domain\user. If  in the local security policy the Sharing and security model for local accounts is set to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves you can use the account on the client to access the server provided a local user with the same credentials exists on the server. But you can't "map" a local account to a domain account (if on the server a local account exists with the same name as a domain account - which one should be used?). As I've said you need a local account on the server with the same credentials as the admin-account on the client (but this account needs only read access to the share server - I'd advise against giving it more rights).

    I hope I could clarify this point.
